Dominant Genes

Thanks to Dr. Charles I found this great site with a picture of my ancestor, Confederate General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham. He's like my Great-times-ten grandfather. I borrowed the pic. (I am a relative afterall) and wanted to show you the creepy resemblance to my Dad.

Here's Gen Cheatham:

Here's John Cheatham, My Dad, in a dorky 1970s photo with my mom:

Geez, it is just me or do my parents look a little stoned? I know better (if you knew my Mom...no way!) but they still look it. I think my sister was the one who wrote on the picture (photo blasphemy!!!) because that's not my handwriting. Anyway, I think the resemblance is a little creepy, the Cheatham nose apparently goes back a couple centuries even.
